Happy Easter!

Ok, so this wasn't Easter weekend, this was a few weeks ago, but I had to show you these awesome snowmen Dan and the kids made after our latest (and hopefully last) snowstorm.
They were just too cute! So, on Saturday we went to the Yukon park Egg hunt. Our neighbors invited us, we were a little late so we got there right as the horn sounded to get the eggs, they didn't get very many but it was still fun.
When we caught up to the neighbors the girls quickly filled the kids baskets because theirs were overflowing as you can see. Bella and Shelby (one of our babysitters next to Margie and their friend and two cousins)
Where's Jakey you say?....

... He was grouchy and didn't want to be in the picture...

...Until I let him open up an egg and have some candy!
Candy makes everyone feel better!

We dyed eggs after conference on Saturday. Notice the huge goose eggs our friend gave us to dye! They were awesome! Jakey also tried his first hard boiled egg. He won't eat another one. what do you do with hard boiled eggs nobody will eat? hmmmm......
by the way the goose eggs tasted great, just like chicken eggs!!
On Sunday we had the Brewers, Sautters and Asays over for dinner and conference and of course an egg hunt. The food was delicious, ham Turkey, rolls, salads, ... so good, all of it. We hid the eggs in the backyard and let them loose.
Don't look too happy about your eggs Jakey.
"Mom will you hurry up, I'm ready to eat some candy!!!"
Margie, (our little fashionista (more on that in another post)) loved the egg hunt and was proud to show off her found eggs in a photo. Cute girl!


And here's the whole gang of kids we had over. Jake, Aiden, Dimitri, Elaine, Emma, Lilly, Kailee and Stella, Margie and Londynn. Yeah for the egg hunt! We had a golden egg this year, Emma found it, Laurie has a picture of her with it on her blog as well as the beautiful and yummy desserts she made for everyone.
Everyone stayed all afternoon and into the evening when it was time for baths and bed. We had a fabulous time hosting everyone.
Happy Easter!

I am coveting your good weather! It snowed on Easter for us! Jakey is so big and I love Margie's cute poses and outfits. We are too excited for cousins this summer! And tell me what the tiniest one is going to be so I can send some girl clothes to you!

Margie is one very stylish little lady. Can't wait to hear more about that one! :) Jakey cracks me up. When we saw the picture of him in his diaper, holding the egg, Jake said, "That's so Dan!" I can't get enough of your Margie and Jakey. We miss them every day and even more on holidays. I'm glad you had such a wonderful weekend!
